Performance of potato (Solanum tuberosum) + wheat (Triticum aestivum) relay cropping system
Year: 2001
Type: article
Abstract: A field experiment was conducted for 2 years at New Delhi, to study agronomic aspects of potato + (Solanum tuberosum L.) wheat (Triticum aestivum L. emend. Fiori & Paol.) relay cropping system. Row spacing of 50 cm as well as seed rate of 80 kgha of wheat was found the optimum practice for this cropping system. Nitrogen application to wheat not only increased the grain and straw yields and gross and net income of wheat but also the tuber yield of potato crop. The response of wheat to P was associated with available P content of soil.
